Please no solicitors/spammers/scammers. I’m not stupid and no, I will not ship any of these to anyone.

All prices are firm. These wines have been meticulously kept at 53-57 degrees F at all times. I used to be a sommelier and have decided to sell off a few bottles.
I have inspected these wines and I can guarantee that as of now, none of these wines are corked. If you think any of these prices are unreasonable, then keep in mind what it would cost you to have it shipped from wherever you would order it from, as well as the uncertainty of the method of shipping with respect to the temperature and condition of the bottles as I will. I can deliver any of these within the dallas/fort worth metroplex as long as it is within reason for no charge if you buy more than one bottle.

he didn’t say unopened bottles.

what is to stop someone assaulting the cork with a very small 25 gauge or smaller needle to sample a cc or two? i’d imagine the cork would seal just fine and the buyer would be non the wiser. personally, i think practice is a bit astray from my moral compass, however.
